About

The 11th Australasian Viral Hepatitis Conference has been confirmed for 13 – 15 August 2018 at the Adelaide Convention & Exhibition Centre, Adelaide, South Australia. The Australasian Viral Hepatitis Conference is the leading multidisciplinary Viral Hepatitis conference in Australasia.

We are in an exciting time. We have the opportunity to impact viral hepatitis in a way never before possible. However, as with every great endeavour, there is the risk that some people will miss the opportunities afforded by recent advances in therapeutics, implementation and policy. Worse, those who miss out may be the people who could benefit most. Our conference is inspired by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its focus on inclusion and health for all. The program will showcase and critically examine ways to effectively reach everyone living with viral hepatitis, while being inclusive of their experiences and concerns.

The conference will be an excellent platform to hear presentations on the latest research in Viral Hepatitis and a great opportunity to network with your peers.
